from "Glass City":

talking love with a seven-year-old

some boy gave her
a lollipop

she whispered
in my ear

asked me
if i ever had
a girlfriend

when i was younger

i told her no
that the girls never
seemed to like me

although i always
thought that i was
a nice enough
guy

she seemed
to accept that
answer

odd

how i still
haven't



Look for more Low Ghost releases in 2011!
